If he was measuring loading, then he knows how much gas was absorbed into the Ni. If he could also measure what was left after the run then we would know how much was consumed, and could consequently calculate the energy / D atom. As Jones has pointed out, fusion or baryon destruction would yield MeV amounts / D atom, whereas any form of "super chemistry" would yield on the order of 100's to 1000's of eV / atom. There is a pretty large gap between keV & MeV, so the result could well be indicative, or at least alter the chances of any given theory being correct. Could you at least suggest it to him?
